A group of American cowboys rides horses down a dirt street during a parade for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The man in the left foreground leads the group and carries a large flag with a buffalo on it. He wears leather chaps and has a scarf tied around his neck. Several of the other men wear sheepskin chaps. Numerous spectators line the street watching the parade. Two men lean against their bicycles in front of a group of women in the right midground. A young boy stands in the road near them. A group of young children sits on the top rail of the fence in the left midground. Several wagons are stopped in the right background. A large building is in the left background with a sign hanging from it reading "The Cornwall & Patterson Mfg. Co. Piano and Organ Hardware."
